La Porte! <br />La Porte is a community of strength and pride (as represented by the San Jacinto Monument), large, <br />under -served opportunities for commercial retail development, and hard-working citizens/Americans <br />(i.e. "patriots") who are leading the recovery in the U.S. economy, and supporting the United States' <br />independence from foreign oil. <br />The three (3) vertical booth banners exhibit La Porte's primary characteristics and offerings with respect <br />to economic development and opportunities for retail commercial development: <br />• Banner #1 - "Gateway to Independence", or even better, the "Gateway to Strength and <br />Independence". La Porte is characterized by: the home of the San Jacinto Battleground, San <br />Jacinto Monument, and Texas' Independence, resolve, character, fortitude, bravery, the center <br />of the 2nd largest petro -chemical cluster in the world, gateway to the Houston Ship Channel, and <br />the Gateway to Houston's international trade and commerce. <br />Banner #2 - "Texas -Sized Opportunities for Development". La Porte is the figurative "hole in <br />the retail/commercial donut" that offers Texas -Sized Opportunities for commercial <br />development. Retail exists all around us in Deer Park, Pasadena, Baytown, Clear Lake, and <br />Webster, but we are under -served in almost every category of retail. <br />• Banner #3 - "Backbone of the U.S. Economy". La Porte represents the "backbone of the U.S. <br />Economy', where our committed, hard working citizens diligently work to support the United <br />States' independence from foreign oil. Our citizens make a good income ($72,000 Avg. HH <br />income), but they need a place to spend their money in their own community. <br />
